Contrary to reports that Aamir Khan has been roped into a special extra segment for Bombay Talkies, the actor is actually part of a special theme song to commemorate 100 years of Indian cinema which will be part of the film.
Bombay Talkies is a collection of four short films directed by
Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap as an ode to 100 years of Indian cinema.

A source close to the project says, "The film's shooting is done. Four directors had been assigned to do four episodes. Where is the scope for Aamir to do another segment? That is completely wrong reporting. Aamir has only participated in a song in Bombay Talkies composed by Amit Trivedi celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema."
